REF: STATE 77572

1. (U) On June 13, post delivered the points in STATE 77572 to
Yoshiyasu Kawaguchi, Deputy Director, Specialized Agencies
Division, International Cooperation Bureau, MOFA, and asked for
the GOJ's support. Mr. Kawaguchi is not a specialist on these
issues, but promised to deliver our request to the appropriate
officials in the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport
(MLIT). Post conveyed to him the POCS at MLIT recommended by
Post's FAA and TSA reps for which he was thankful. Post offered
to put him or the relevant MLIT officials in touch with Post's
FAA and TSA reps if they had any informal questions they wished
to discuss. Mr. Kawaguchi was not certain he could receive an
answer by June 29, but said he would try.
